Abstract:
... The aim of this research was to evaluate the sensitivity and specificity of the FAMACHA© (F©) system in Morada Nova ewes. The conjunctivae of 562 ewes were evaluated using the F© system. Packed cell volume (PCV) served as the gold standard for clinical F© evaluation. To calculate the sensitivity and specificity of the F© system, different criteria were adopted: animals classified as (I) F© 4 and 5 ...

We present a rapid and quantitative point-of-care (PoC) system based on a smartphone application that is capable of accurately tracking the flow of red blood cells (RBCs) through a no-reaction lateral flow assay (nrLFA) device. Utilizing only the camera feed from the smartphone and built-in image processing, the nrLFA is identified and RBC fluid flow distances and rates are recorded in parallel wi ...

Abstract:
... Incidental capture of sharks during commercial and recreational fishing is of major conservation concern because of the potential effects it can have on physiological stress responses and survival. Endocrine aspects of the stress response are, however, poorly understood in elasmobranchs because of difficulties in measuring the primary glucocorticoid (1α-hydroxycorticosterone). Here, we combined me ...
